Field Trip Dates:
PeopleScapes - May 15th, 2010 - 5:30pm - SOLD OUT
Second Session Added - May 16th, 2010 - 5:30pm - SOLD OUT
PeopleScapes '10 will be held at the Condie Nature Refuge just a few miles north of Regina en route to Deer Valley Golf Course. The location offers a variety of settings, scenes and props conducive to creating interesting photos of people. This participant driven learning experience will help you refine your available light portraiture skills as well as learning to effectively capture your human subject in conjunction with the environment/scene in which you are photographing. The goal being the creation of photos in which sometimes the surroundings or activities are just as important as the people being photographed.
This hands-on session will focus on both the technical aspects of photography and the proper ways to compose images containing people. From "head-shots" to torso-up portraits, and full body photos while the subjects are both posed and moving.
We also touch on the use of reflectors, diffusers, and fill-flash.
Registration Opens - Sunday April 11th
Cost is $100 plus GST per person *

Sports Photography "for" Sports Enthusiasts - The Sessions
So, you are one of the thousands of hockey moms and soccer dads that recently bought a new camera. You bought it with hopes of capturing magazine quality images of your children just like the pros do. As a matter of fact, the employee of some big-box store told you to "Buy the digital SLR, or this advanced point-and-shot camera if you want to get good sports photos." "The money you spend now you will save by not paying for pictures of your kids over the next twelve years." they said. Herein lies the problem. You now own the camera but of the 2,366 pictures you have taken, not one of them looks quite like the ones you see inside the magazines or on the web sites.
If the above paragraph sounds familiar, or, you would just like to learn more about sports photography, read on. I would like to help.
Everyday I get asked the same questions. "How do you do it?" "Why don't my pictures look like that?" "What kind of camera is that and is it better than mine?" "Why is the ice in all my hockey shots grey?" "Why do all my pictures look like snapshots?" "What settings are you using?" I used to ignore these questions, or come up with some useless answer, mostly out of fear that I would somehow lose business or that, if I answered, you would then know "my secrets". Not anymore, I can not possibly handle all of the demand for sports images and you have bought that camera, you should know how to use it!
If you are one of the people asking the above questions, or would like to but haven't, if you live in southern Saskatchewan and would like to learn more about sports photography, I am willing to answer your questions. I will let you in on some of the "secrets" of photography that can be applied in both sports and other photography areas.
If you have an Digital SLR camera, consider registering for one of our "Introduction to Digital Photography Courses". After completing that, if you wish to learn more specifically about sports photography, $249.00 plus GST will get you three hours of one-on-one sports specific training. Call Rob @ 535-5997 to register.
